Mad River Maple

Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark amber color with subtle transparency closer to the sides of the glass and a finger's worth of white foamy head which settled down at a nice pace and left some mild lace
Aroma: brown sugar, some maple syrup, light caramel/toffee malts and some light hints of sweet wafer
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas together in a sweet malty to sweet crackery sort of way; finishes sweet and semi-sticky
Texture: medium bodied, leaning to being a sipper; some smoothness but also some sticky coating maple syrupy tones (I guess that was expected, and Lawson's did warn us - so there's that)
Overall: though I wasn't entirely thrilled about the stickiness in the feel, I was warned so I can't knock this beer too much and well, the aromas and flavors are well done.

Can pour at the DCBeer December 2025 share. Poured a clear copper orange color with a small white head. Aroma was sweet malts, a touch of maple syrup. Sweet, with some pleasant earthy notes. Nice.

Canned from mom pours clear coppery amber, maple brown sugar, caramel, mild hops

Sweet malty with prominent maple sweetness, caramel biscuity malts, toffee, some red apple and slight dried fruity accents, medium body, s slightly detracting metallic note, sweet malty finish.

16 oz. can. Aroma is earthy with mild maple. Flavor follows with the addition of a mild smoke and almost a nutty hint. Body and texture are correct. It’s pretty good.

Brown with orange highlights and a small beige head that left decent lacing. Toasty and woody with faint maple, a bit of fruit and some astringency. Medium finish and body.

On tap at the Grand Delancey. Pours amber. Earthy, maple, candied maple, caramel, a lot of maple, biscuit. Medium body. Good.
